Help with generator problem, AC voltage

[Byrne Lobdell]

I would be very careful adjusting the mechanical Governor to get the voltage up.
The mechanical adjustment only changes the RPM of engine which in turns changes
the frequency of the output voltage. Too high or too low frequency can damage
any non resistive load. (Inverters, TV, Battery Chargers, Microwave, etc.) I am
not sure of the Voltage Regulator you have but most have a way to set voltage.
If no voltage adjustment is on regulator you may need to replace regulator. If
you have done any mechanical adjustment to the engine governor you need to get a
good frequency meter and be sure the frequency is set at 60 cycles.

I had low voltage on my 90WL40 and I adjusted the idle and it brought up
the voltage to the proper level.

You have an open neutral somewhere between the genset and load center.
Try cycling the transfer switch first.
